FUNCTION
Control Logic Input (see Table 1)
Transfer Capacitor Positive Connection. Connect a 1μF capacitor (or 2.2μF for I OUT > 600mA) from
CP to CN.
Transfer Capacitor Negative Connection. Connect a 1μF capacitor (or 2.2μF for I OUT > 600mA) from
CP to CN.
Control Logic Input (see Table 1)
Ground
Input Supply Voltage. Connect IN to a battery or supply voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V. Connect a 4.7μF
ceramic capacitor from IN to GND.
Current-Sense Input. Connect a current-sense resistor from OUT to CS to set the output current.
Connect the anodes of the LEDs to CS and the cathodes to GND.
Output. Connect a 10μF ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND. In shutdown, OUT is pulled to GND
with an internal 5k ? resistor.
Exposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to GND directly under the IC.
